this person who, you know, it s one outrage after another. well, anderson, some of those statements you played previously by some of my former colleagues were simply incendiary and way out of bounds. as margaret said i mean, lindsey graham is on the judiciary committee. yeah, i mean, look they should be following the lead of john katko and brian fitzpatrick, both of whom have law enforcement backgrounds. they are exercising the proper restraint, circumspection, caution. that s what they should be doing right now. and i think most of these members know that the former president has no boundaries. these members know too that had they walked out of the scif, the secure containment facility, with classified material taking them home, they know assuredly a g-man would show up at their door wanting them back. for the former president to go out there and say, all americans are under attack, that s absurd.
or a breach of the containment facility. completely unprotected and having those fuel rods heat up and explode. this is a disaster waiting to happen and it is not over yet. the fact that they re operating at gunpoint under duress without a shift change cot off from their family, even under the best of circumstances, operating a nuclear reactor is hard, but under this, it is disaster. we have avoided explosion thankfully right now by the grace of god. russia has tight control over this facility. why is this situation particularly dangerous at this point? i mean, it gives russia unbelievable leverage, even if not on the battlefield, beyond the battlefield in terms of the electricity and energy supply being used across europe. and psychologically. look, what we witnessed in the attack on this nuclear facility
this power plant. we dodged a nuclear bullet last night and i m with the u.n. ambassador greenfield that we dodged a disaster. he was extremely concerned that there was a severe risk of a mass casualty event. basically, what happened was fortunately the attack was limited. even though we re shooting flairs as you see into a nuclear facility, there is volleys of heavy caliber machine fire that it didn t hit the containment facility. now this is a strong reinforced concrete but not a fail si in the world that would with stand a tank attack, mortar attack. the real danger for me isn t so much that the inrastructure would be damaged but in the course of this you might cut off
level. this would have been quite serious. could ve been multiple ways that they could have been a meltdown. that there could ve been a breach of the containment facility. could ve seen an artillery shell hit the spent fuel ponds. which are unprotected, completely unprotected. having those fuel rods feet up and explode. this is a disaster waiting to happen. it is not over yet. the fact that they are operating at gunpoint, under duress, without a shift change, cut off from their family. even under the best of circumstances, operating a nuclear reactors tricky business, but this, this is disaster. brett, even though we have avoided an explosion thankfully right now by the grace of god as ambassador greenfield said, russia has tight control over this facility, why is this situation particularly dangerous at this point. it gives russia leverage, if not on the battlefield, off the battlefield, in terms of electricity supply being used
